Do you crave certain foods depending on your mood? Everyone is different, but maybe some of us share the following mind-gut connections!

What you eat when you’re…

Happy

Pretty much anything. After all, you’re happy and feel like nothing can go wrong – including dinner.

Excited

A snack, appetizer, or tapa. When you’re excited about something, you don’t care too much about eating. But who could turn down a few bites of fish dip or a tasty slider?

Sad

Now this one is different for everyone. Some people don’t want to eat when they’re sad. Others prefer comfort foods – maybe something you ate since you were little. How about homemade grilled cheese, or drowning your sorrows in a bowl of spaghetti?

Angry

Something spicy. Buffalo wings, and some blue cheese to cool it (and you) down a bit.

Anxious

Similar to sad-mood food, this one can go either way. Most likely, if you’re super anxious about something, your hunger switch is turned to “off”.

Curious

Something exotic. A new type of ethnic food, or something you’ve never had like goat, alligator, or rabit. Or if you’re not into meat, then kale, quinoa, or seaweed.

Bored

The worst time to eat (for your waistline anyway)! When you’re bored you’d eat pretty much anything, and any amount.

Inspired

When you’re inspired, maybe you’ll cook up a new kitchen creation, snap a photo, and post your pride on facebook!
